You don't have to look too hard to find the most obvious examples. Hop on over to an HN discussion about the ongoing Hong Kong extradition bill protests. You'll find plenty of accounts that use whataboutist arguments to change the topic to Western interference on the geopolitical landscape, or that the protests are more violent than how Western media portrays them. Then check out the accounts more closely and you'll see that they're only a few weeks old, the only comment sections they've been active in are about the US trade war with China, Chinese imprisonment of Uighurs and the Hong Kong protests, only spouting pro-China comments.
But something this focused on one specific individual I haven't seen before, not on HN at least. I don't think it would be nearly as obvious as what China's doing, though.
